Ben Nevis Glencoe MacDonald's Whisky Miniature 8 Year Old

Colour

Deep amber with coppery reflections and a touch of mahogany.

Nose

Dense sherried aromas of dark fruits—raisins, fig and cherry—meld with treacle, cocoa and toasted almond. Spice arrives as cinnamon and clove, with nutmeg and a peppery zing. Rich oak and caramel mingle with a warm, resinous cask-strength lift, inviting a long, luxurious breath.

Palate

Big, sherried richness coats the palate with raisin and fig, dotted by dark chocolate and espresso. Caramelized nuts and orange zest weave through oak and a warm, peppery spine from the high ABV. The finish is long and chocolate-dusted, with dried fruit and subtle spice lingering.

Finish

Long, warming finish with sherry-kissed fruit, dark chocolate and toasted oak. Raisin and fig sweetness lingers as spices unfold into a dry, satin-like fade of oak and leather, leaving a refined, lingering warmth.
